Sky TV customers are in for a treat this November with Netflix and more Ultra HD 4K content arriving on the platform from today.
The satellite TV firm’s joint venture with Netflix sees the two services side-by-side for the very first time with shows from both companies available in one place.
Sky has officially confirmed that Netflix is available to Sky Q customers now.
If you have a Sky Q and Netflix account there’s two ways to watch with a basic app offering easy access to Netflix content or a more interactive service called Ultimate On Demand.
This new option will allow Netflix and Sky content to appear side-by-side within in the main Q home screen making it simple to watch shows from both services.
Sky has confirmed that Ultimate on Demand will cost £10 per month which includes access to Sky Box Sets (usually £5 per month) and Netflix Standard (£7.99) – giving customers a saving of £2.99 per month.
There’s also a more premium Sky Q Experience bundle which includes the ability to view shows in Ultra HD.
Speaking about the update Stephen van Rooyen, Chief Executive Officer, Sky UK and Ireland, said: “We want Sky Q to be the number one destination for TV fans. Partnering with Netflix means we will have all the best TV in one great value pack, making it even easier for you to watch all of your favourite shows”.
And Chris Whiteley, Director Business Development UK/IE, Netflix, added: “Innovation is at the core of Netflix. We are delighted to partner with Sky to offer fans a new and exciting way to access the best of entertainment from around the world.”
Along with Netflix arriving soon, Sky has also announced the launch of more 4K Ultra HD content arriving on its Sky Q 2TB boxes.
